VOXPOP 'MCA made two ill-prepared attacks on DAP/Pakatan last week and came out severely bruised. Such is the quality of leaders in MCA today.'

vox populi small thumbnail Anonymous #43051382: MCA chief Dr Chua Soi Lek, people sue because they are defamed. The suit is not a 'gag order', stupid.

Remember, the Internet is more powerful than BN's mainstream media. Most youths go for Internet news. So lies and half-truths won't work like they used to.

Thum Joo Keong: I literally laughed out loud when they announced that the alleged RM1 billion scandal was the Talam debt recovery exercise. I still laugh out loud when I read this.

A deputy minister and ex-CFO (chief financial officer) who cannot read company reports, that's just embarrassing.

Wira: MCA made two ill-prepared attacks on DAP/Pakatan Rakyat last week and came out severely bruised. Such is the quality of leaders in MCA today.

Little Bird: Chua's son Tee Yong's motive is purely to raise his personal profile to enable his father to nominate him for a full minister's post should he manage to win the next GE, and should BN retain power.

MCA members who are more senior will have to make way for him. Tee Yong's dad is not sure that he himself would be fielded and whether he can win even if fielded, so Junior is being prepared to take over.

Thum Joo Keong: Well, one thing is for sure, Chua Jr sure has inherited Chua Sr's ultra-thick skin.

Edge of Town : Notice how Chua Jr has gone all quiet now? Even if there was an intra-party plot to discredit and get rid of him and his infamous father, being an ‘accountant', he should have been aware of the possible fallacies in his assertions.

Unless, of course, as many have said, his degree is not worth the paper it's printed on.

Anonymous #19098644 : Can everyone please stop insulting the accounting profession by calling deputy minister Tee Yong an accountant? He is an embarrassment to his university and the profession.

A person who doesn't know his debits and credits, who is not prepared with facts and jumps to all sorts of misleading conclusions is a miserable representation of any party. It just goes to show the lack of talent in BN and MCA.

Odin: Of course, Chua Sr is unfazed. Should the presiding judge find MCA guilty and impose a fine, it would be paid by his party and not by him. But that will certainly not endear him and his son to most of the party members.

Mwong: MCA insiders have their knives out for Chua Jr first and then Chua Sr, preparing to finish them off as they know that the duo are liabilities to the party come GE13.

The loud silence of 'Beng Hock'

Anonymous #19098644: Please translate the ‘Beng Hock' play into Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, Tamil, Kadazan, Iban and perform it throughout Malaysia to let the people know that an injustice and a murder has been committed and covered up.

Supercession: I hope PM Najib Razak's conscience is at least minimally pricked by this play, if he's capable of having a conscience in the first place.

Cala: Someone, in his eagerness to wrestle control of the Selangor government, was making use of this bunch of uniformed hooligans to extract certain admission from DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock. And when the interrogators failed in their attempt, coercion was used that finally caused Teoh's death.

Imagine, until now no one has been made answerable. This is Bolehland at its best, a state that accounts to no one.

Human Being: Good job Rumah Anak Teater's (RAT). Now how about a play on Altantuya Shaariibuu?

Anonyxyz: Former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad, you ask DAP leader Lim Kit Siang why he hates you so much, but it is we who hate you for your spreading of racial hatred, for pitting the Chinese against the Malays, so that in the meantime you can get your filthy hands on the country's wealth for yourself, your family and cronies.

Teoh's tragedy is the outcome of your machinations.

Odin: Teoh Beng Hock's life was not worth RM2,000, because he had nothing to do with the money. Which, in the first place, was not even misappropriated. His life was worth zero sen.

You must be very happy, Najib. That's the way to treat those ‘pendatangs' who refuse to return to China or India, no?

Keturunan Malaysia: For the family of Teoh, let's pray together and do our utmost best to effect a change from this hideous, racist, unjust and swindling government, and I sincerely and very strongly believe that all our good fellow Malaysians will never let this matter rest until it is properly and rightfully put to rest.

Onyourtoes: We shall never rest; we shall never close this chapter unless the truth is unearthed. Teoh was not a common criminal.

If there is no closure to his death, racism, bullying and persecution will perpetuate. Yes, never rest.
